GATES AXK 27 Thrust Needle Roller and Cage Assembly | High Axial Load Bearing 27x42x2mm
The AXK 27 is a premium GATES Thrust Needle Roller and Cage Assembly designed specifically for applications requiring high axial load capacity within severely restricted radial and axial spaces. This component consists of a precision-machined cage that guides and retains a large number of optimized needle rollers. With exceptionally low cross-sectional height (2mm), the AXK 27 facilitates compact machine design without compromising rigidity or performance, making it the ideal choice for integration into gearboxes, machine tool spindles, and hydraulic pumps where space efficiency is paramount. The design allows for easy separation of components, simplifying mounting procedures and reducing installation time.
Engineered to meet stringent industrial demands, the GATES AXK 27 ensures superior operational longevity and reduced friction compared to traditional thrust washers. Its construction is optimized for reliable high-speed performance in pure thrust applications, effectively transmitting heavy axial forces. For optimal system integration and performance, the AXK 27 requires pairing with an appropriate thrust washer (such as the GATES AS 27 or WS 81105) to provide hardened raceway surfaces. Choosing the GATES AXK 27 guarantees a solution that delivers maximum load density, reliable performance, and minimized maintenance overhead in critical rotational systems.
